Multi-million dollar roadhouse complex on the way

The development has received approval from the Broken Hill City Council and already has several businesses inquiring about leasing aspects of the complex.

Director of Bobos Engineering, Nick Bobos, said the large scale project will be a boost for Broken Hill.

"There's five developments to the project, one is the roadhouse, the next is a truck wash, we've also got some commercial buildings and some industrial buildings, and there's also facilities there for accommodation," Mr Bobos said.

"There's a lot of opportunities for fast food outlets, retail outlets (and) we've got a tire repairer that's taken one of the sheds, so there's a lot of new opportunities out there for businesses in Broken Hill."

The roadhouse complex is expected to be completed and ready for business in around two years.

Mr Bobos said 15 to 20 people will be employed during the building phase of the project and he is in discussions with major fuel suppliers to lease the roadhouse once it is complete.

Local real estate agent Zeta Bennett is working on the development with Bobos Engineering and she said a lot of work has gone into the planning and initial construction stages of the development.

"(It is) a massive area located between the headframe and town, so it's all being cleared at the moment and we're about to be releasing expressions of interest and prospectus."

Ms Bennett said the roadhouse and retail complex will be designed to service the residents of Broken Hill as well as the truck drivers and tourists who use the Barrier Highway.

The impending construction of another major development in the city, the much anticipated Broken Hill Plaza, is not expected to affect the roadhouse complex, according to Ms Bennett.

"We are well placed in Broken Hill at the moment and of course our economy is cyclical, it's linked very heavily to the mining industry, but we have to get behind these things and there's no reason why we can't have all the facilities here in Broken Hill for locals and travellers alike."
